wrong. the likely factor is that you're not doing it right. make sure the car is at operating temp and that you have all the settings set up right. now in a stationary position just hold the break down ever so slightly, just enough to engage the rear break lights, now hold the shifter up...as if you're downshifting, you should now see "launch control active" or something along those lines, along with the a checkered flag. at this point if you mash the throttle the rev's should kick up to 3k and you can adjust them with the cruise control adjustment

That's what I thought too, but I have tried it many times very carefully after thoroughly warming the car up.

I used launch control when i had 1300 miles. Heres how to properly use it.

1. Make sure DSC is off and shifting is on S3.
2. Make sure the tires are warmed up, and drive atleast 6-8 miles.
3. Hold break a little bit and hold shifter forward and a flag indicating launch control is engaged should pop up. Then floor the gas all the way.( remember u still have the shifter held in the upward position.)
4. Release the brake, The RPMS will be held in 3000RPM unless you adjust it Via cruise control.
5. Release the shifter and off you go, if you don't have your throttle all the way down you wont launch.
Its actually quite frankly very easy to use as my settings are in Sport plus,sport plus, sport plus and S3. So all i need to do is hold the Traction button until DSC is completely off.

Yep, still not active in my car. Maybe software prevents it from being active until 1200 miles is actually reached.

I don't plan to use it much. Just want to make sure it's enabled properly by the svc dept.

Well I believe the car has some "will" over when it works. I wasn't able to do my 1200 service so I decided to see if launch control would work and it sure enough did a few times. After a week or two at about 1500/1600 miles it no longer would let me engage it. I still need to complete my break in service appointment and will do so when it gets off the boat. I was wondering if it will let me engage it again after that.
